EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON:- I was present at yesterday's game between the second eleven and Technology, and also at a game a year ago between the first eleven and Technology, both played on the Union Grounds. In last year's game, Mr. Holden tripped in a hole and sprained his ankle, not getting into good trim again all the season. Yesterday, Mr. Nichols, a most promising player, was slung into the home plate of the diamond, a great block of marble, and badly hurt. Not only that, there was every chance offered the men of being severely hurt; and it was only that Providence which watches over somnambulists and Harvard students that kept them from embracing it.

There was no attempt made to line the fair lines until 3 o'clock, when the game should have been called. This took time, and game was finally called at 3.30 with the fair lines still wet and slippery, and pegs a foot high stuck all over the field, which Mr. Carpenter and I went round and pulled up. This was sufficiently careless, but one of the Tech half-backs found the leaving of a marking string lying across the field more dangerous still when he took a header over it during the game. Home plate, as I said before, was not removed till a player had to be carried away from previous contact with it. These things were all owing to the gross negligence of the managers; but with every precaution, the ground is dangerous and unfit to play on: it is covered with cinders, full of holes, has a running track and a base-ball diamond on it, and above all, is absurdly small. Every probability points to some one being seriously hurt there in future games; and this being so, is practice so valuable to us as to make us run the risk of crippling our best men, even if we never play on the Union Grounds again?
